Discussion
A cold front crosses the region later today and can bring with it more in the way of scattered shower and thunderstorm activity. Some of the afternoon and evening storms can be strong, but much of the time today will be rain-free. Following the passage of the cold front, a cooler and crisp air mass arrives for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday bringing a touch of fall to the area. Daytime highs during this stretch will be generally confined to the 70’s - well below-normal for this time of year - and overnight lows well down in the 50’s.
